AI risk analysis

Summary: This vulnerability allows an out-of-bound array access in the UCSI displayport driver, which could lead to a kernel crash if exploited.
Exploitability: Exploitation requires an attacker to send a crafted GET_CURRENT_CAM response with an invalid value, which is relatively difficult to achieve without knowledge of the system's UCSI configuration.
Blast radius: If exploited, the kernel crash could potentially lead to a denial of service condition, impacting the system's stability and availability.
Detection: No reliable host or network indicator is derivable from the published description.
Prioritized remediation: Upgrade to the fixed version 5.15.110 or later.

NVD description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: typec: ucsi: displayport: Fix OOB altmode array index The UCSI displayport driver indexes the connector's port altmode array with the GET_CURRENT_CAM response after checking it is not 0xff. The port altmode array is UCSI_MAX_ALTMODES elements long. If the PPM returns an invalid GET_CURRENT_CAM response above UCSI_MAX_ALTMODES and not equal to 0xff, the kernel may crash with an array index OOB error. Update the UCSI displayport driver to verify the current cam is less than UCSI_MAX_ALTMODES before accessing the port altmode array.
